The End is Near (of 2009!) – Are you Ready?

It seems impossible that this year is about to end. Why we just started it yesterday. Seriously, time does fly doesn’t it? So it’s time for you to figure out what you can do to close out your year on a high note.

Plan a year-end webinar series. Record the webinar, and sell both the live event and the replays. Or consider using it as a lead capture tool to bring people into your marketing funnel in exchange for free access to the webinar replay.

Set a goal to contact your top 25 customers over the next 30 days. Show your appreciation. Ask them what they’d like to see from your company in the coming year — and see if there are any needs you can meet in their business by end of year. Take this opportunity to also connect with them on any social networks they may be on (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.). Lastly, ask for a referral.

Neither of these will cost you a ton of money and they just might pump up your bottom line. What are you planning to do to close out the year strong? Please leave me a comment.
